Board 8 > Who do you think was the better athlete, lebron or brady?

(+) Yeah! (+)

saw a similar poll with brady and jordan and jordan destroyed

Voted Lebron on the basis of the word athlete. A basketball player will almost always beat a football player in that regard.

peak athlete

was?

I would guess Brady puts more into maintaining his athleticism. I think Lebron has a natural advantage, but I would take Brady in endurance.

Lebron is a better athlete. He could play multiple sports if he worked at them at a high level, Brady likely could not.

However. Brady is better at winning.

I am not voting Lebron over Brady even if its the right answer

I'm not sure that's true. Generally the pros in either sport are complete freaks physically, albeit excelling at different skillsets.

That said, QBs are one of the big exceptions to that. LeBron is definetely the better "athlete" of the two.

Comparing these two is dumb. They need completely different skill sets and conditioning

This is like comparing Michael Phelps to Mike Tyson...way too different to compare and the word athlete is way too generic.

top tier athlete sport remains cycling

Obviously LeBron is more athletic but Brady is way more accomplished so Brady
